Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
Hi all,

I've got this idea for a mission where I want Alpha wing to fly Apollo fighters in the GTVA era for an undercover op. Is there anyway to make that happen? Failing that, how can I convince FredOpen to allow to use the apporporate VPs to design a FS1 era mission.

Regards,

UNSRM

Do you have the FS Port? Cause if so you simply need to create a shortcut to it and add -mod FSPort to the target box.

More detail here.

Thats thats stage 1 - I can do use FS1 era ships but how do I persuade Fred to let me use both at the same time. I want to have Apollos fighting Herc Mark IIs - is that possible?

Ah. That's more difficult. You'll need to extract the models, maps and table entries you do want from the FS1 VPs and make them into your own mod for FS2.

I wanted to do something like that a long time ago ,but when I discovered FSPort I abandoned it because I thought nobody will need it.
It's a 5 minute work ,expect it on FSMods soon.

Great Thanks - I have no idea how the mission will come off but I wanted to try. It would be great if you could just drop a message when its completed.

Re: Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
Completed and uploading ,I hope you have High-end computer because all of those models are HTL and with mediavps quality maps ,same for effects. I have included all weapons from FS1 and ST ,as well as Vasudan missiles. Now you can shoot Scorpions flying Erynies ,firing Banshees and Harpoons.
I'm uploading this to large file section of FSMods (all because of mediavp quality) ,so I don't really know when it will be available.

Re: Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
OK ,enough waiting ,I'm splitting it into two parts and uploading to mediafire.
I will post download link right after it will be finished.
One part version will be on FSMods sometime.
I apologize for the delay ,I tried to reach FSMods moderators ,but I had no luck (Snail have computer problems and Swantz is not responding).

Re: Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
Unfortunately you have to wait until FSMods agree the mod.
I was unable to upload file to mediafire and now I know why.
My LAN has been infected by very nasty virus and I will
not upload anything until it's removed.
This is most likely the last post I write for some time ,because
even now this virus is a serious threat.
I will inform you when the virus will be dealt with.
I don't want any more computers infected.

Re: Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
OK I got rid of the virus (now if I only can remove my common cold that easly :) ) and I'm uploading split version to temporary uploads section on FSMods to avoid suprises. For some reason I had lot of bad luck when uploading this mod.

Excellent, I have part 2. Just need part 1 now, which has not appeared yet. Slightly depressed actually, quite a few of my ideas have appeared in Derelict already which I'm currently playing through :(

Re: Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
There will be 3 or 4 parts of this file ,there are times when I'm thinking I have too many
ideas at once ,but I'm concentrated on uploading it foy you ,it was very long time and I don't want you to wait anymore. I hope it will be done tommorow.

Dragon, take your time, the last thing I want to do is put pressure on you, I'm busy working on a batch of essays anyway :(, so please don't rush on my account. I'm very grateful that you have the time to help me at all!

Re: Freespace 1 ships and FRED2OPEN
In fact ,the problem was uploading it ,not making the mod itself.
Believe or not the trying to upload this was a series
of unlucky events ,Snail's computer ,Mediafire problem ,virus ,then uploading to FSMods.
Anyway this is the past now.
Split into four parts ,but it's finally uploaded.
Tell me if I missed something or did anything wrong.
I'm happy I finally managed to upload it for you (and anyone who wants to do cross-era campaign).

And I got rid of common cold ,this is one of my best days after I joined this forum.  :)
(I hope my Bad Luck will not read this and don't try to do something nasty to spoil this day)  :)
